But the system doesn’t work when the state doesn’t act as a stand-in for the victims. The philosophy that underpins the system only works when the criminal receives proportional punishment.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

EXCLUSIVE: DHS based its newest refugee attack on a Trump proclamation that stated it would not apply to refugees.

New documents filed in a key refugee case in Minnesota shed light on a broad, aggressive plan to review all refugees admitted since the start of the Biden administration.

First on MS NOW: House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia just announced that Oversight Democrats will hold a shadow field hearing as part of their Epstein investigation in Palm Beach, Florida on April 14.

The field hearing will include testimony from survivors and important witnesses.

The Republican Party has the ability to end this absolute farce of an administration at any time and we should never let them forget each day they choose not to.

“come to visit the island. new adminstration people visiting”

When Pam Bondi was Florida's Attorney General, and was busy ignoring Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, much like now, she took a $25,000 bribe from Donald Trump to drop her investigation into consumer fraud at Trump University.

Donald knew she'd be a corrupt US AG and do as she was told.

So DOD risked civilian airspace to obliterate some fucking balloons; when FAA found out and asked them to stop they refused; FAA did what it had to keep people safe; when the public rightly freaked out, DOD relented, lied, and blamed the FAA.

Sounds like Hegseth!

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

I just will not get over how funny it is that the administration is being bedeviled by something they just can't absorb, which is a zealot who actually believes what he's saying.

this is an extreme example of a pretty well understood phenomenon; people don't vote for pols they agree with. they convince themselves they agree with the pols they vote for. 1
These people are just crazy. Trump gets up and says "MASS DEPORTATIONS MASS DEPORTATIONS MASS DEPORTATIONS" and they're like "he probably means a path to legal status for deserving immigrants"

The reality - as the government is purchasing warehouses to store humans in - is that they’ve created hundreds, maybe thousands of prisons in Minnesota already. Peaceful, hardworking families are in hiding and haven’t set foot outside in 6 weeks. What would you call that?

Let. Them. Out.

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

Everyone keeps spreading this fake news that The New Radicals 's "You Get What You Give" is a good song.
wild AI story from the Olympics
ice dancers were told to use songs "in the style of the 1990s." One Czech pair tried using AI to pump out a song to skate to, but their AI bot fully plagiarized "You Get What You Give" by The New Radicals and they had to change it

It occurred to me just now that if you were to compile the worst X political scandals in US history, I have no idea how large an X you would need before you hit one that was not Donald Trump's. I'm pretty sure it's at least 50 but would find much larger numbers plausible.

The problem here is: the GOP has gone completely fucking insane in the last 10 years

And well, this may have been obvious to Dems and/or anybody actually paying attention, most people genuinely did not believe that the Republicans want to do the things they’re currently doing until, uh, they did it

The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.
